If you don't have any stamps from Paper Sweeties yet, we have some complimentary digital images for you to try out! Use this month’s board as a starting point for your project — be inspired by one or more of the colors, shapes, theme — ANYTHING GOES!

2. POST a DIRECT LINK to your project in our link gallery below — please link to your project post (not your entire blog) so we can easily find your creation.

Paper Sweeties Inspiration #38:

HOW will YOU be inspired this month -- colors, theme, shapes, patterns? I was inspired by the theme, shape, ornament, bells, holly leaves and sentiment in this beautiful holiday photo (CLICK on the photos for close up views):

I created sweet little ornaments by turning the Snow Globe from the Snow Time Sweet Cuts set upside down and die cutting it eight times using a variety of different patterned papers! The 'JOY' sentiment was die cut using the Joy Sweet Cuts set!

I enjoyed creating eight different ornaments with coordinating papers and embellishments!

Love your gorgeous mittens and enjoyed every one of them. Very festive and beautiful on the Christmas tree. Just fun! Thank you for sharing your gorgeous mittens with us at Really Reasonable Ribbon and can't wait to see your next creative project with us on our next challenge. Nancy Hill, Design Team
